HyperCard stacks
HyperCard is a software application and development kit for early Apple computers, most notably the Macintosh. It gave users of any skill level the ability to put together interactive information.
A list of Thoru's HyperCard stacks can be found on the website of Motoyuki Tanaka, where they were hosted.[3] These were a mix of animations and interactive scenes and are listed alphabetically below. Out of a total of 32 stacks only 22 are present in the Wayback Machine archive of the aforementioned website.
- A Little Tree Lost
- Drug Store Found
- Hand to Hand Found
- Happy Man Found

- See The Sky (Vol. 1-6) Partially Found (missing: 5, 6)
- ZiZi Stories (Vol. 1–16) Partially Found (missing: 2, 5, 6, 8, 10, 15)
Found files have been uploaded to the HyperCard Stacks collection at Internet Archive.[4]
Note: all 16 volumes of ZiZi Stories are still available online as HTML [5], but these versions lack the sound, animated transitions and frame pacing of the older HyperCard versions.
